A suspect has been arrested in connection with a string of robberies in Saginaw County.

Saginaw Police, Buena Vista Police and the Saginaw County Sheriff’s Office conducted a press conference Wednesday about recent armed robberies that have occurred in each jurisdiction.

The robberies occurred on Sept. 6 at the Save-A-Lot, 3333 E. Holland, in Buena Vista Township; Walmart, 5650 Bay, in Kochville Township; and Family Dollar, 3430 State St., in Saginaw.

In each of the robberies, the suspect gave clerks a note and appeared to show a handgun.

Saginaw County Sheriff’s Office told local media that the man they were searching for was already in jail after running from Michigan State Police troopers who had made a stop for a license plate violation on Tuesday. Warrants are being sought.
